Preparation and properties of cotton nanocomposite fabrics with in situ generated copper nanoparticles using Red sanders powder extract as a reducing agent

Nanocomposite cotton fabrics with in situ generated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were prepared using Pterocarpus santalinus (Red sanders) aqueous extraction as a reducing agent. The nanocomposite cotton fabrics made using different concentrated aqueous CuSO4.5H2O source solutions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and antibacterial tests. The SEM analysis of...
